It looks cool. Unbelievably compact and small, probably will do just fine for the purposes it was intended for.
Begs the question though; What for? Low usage weapons like SMGs are barely needed today, who is it for? This is a small lot, of course, but that still doesn't explain it. Just having them for the sake of having them? Tank crews are the only position where I could see this being actively used and they carry M4s, no? This seems like something you'd give to secret service, not the Army.

"The service is buying hundreds of these weapons to arm personal security details guarding VIPs in high-risk environments."
Nathaniel Scott
But this appears to be for the army, isn't the Secret Service an unrelated organ?

Why is the magwell a hotdog in a hallway? This isn't some bubba'd AR-9, they have no excuse.

They're neat range toys.
They're under the department of homeland security.
Its has an angle on the inside if I recall, i.e you can panic a mag in.

It's going to be an overpriced, overbuilt ghetto blaster. If a submachine gun does not cost less than $300 it should be ignored

Vehicle crews have been in a very difficult spot ever since the M3A1 grease gun was retired at a time when the P90 was looking to readily replace it without any G*rman ass blastedness getting in the way. Some crews like Nicholas "if they aren't a Christian sect, fire for effect" Morran's Barely Legal for example, got Three M4s, an M16 with underslung M203, mossberg 500, a fucking M249 and then their side arms of M9s all just for a single M1A1. Meanwhile Bradly crews were given a handful of M231 port firing weapons for their now sealed with the exception of the back ramp firing ports if they were lucky. There are countless pictures of less fortunate crews who were given jack and shit for dismounted combat and chose to make due with Iraqi MP5 and even PPSH42 clones. With any luck this might bring some normalcy back into it.

yes, but the army also supplies security details for senators, and other representatives abroad. the marines usually guard the president if a military escort is needed.
I suspect this is from army black-ops, uber-supermen MOS.

I just assumed everyone carried a M4 or M16, and prior to that, an M16.
the M4 is basically a rifle capable SMG. kind of like the AK74u.
